How do we do it?

We have been working with businesses in Cairns and across the rest of Australia for years… Having tested everything in SEO, we understand what works… and equally, what doesn’t. We can bring years of expertise and experience to your next SEO campaign!

So, How do we do it?

Relevant Content

Highly relevant content with expertise and experience is a must! The term “content is king” is thrown around in SEO for a reason… it’s what can quickly set your SEO campaign apart from the rest. Google’s EEAT framework: experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trust, is here for this reason… By aligning with this framework, we can ensure that all content and optimisation performed by the agency will get the best results in SERPs.

Building Authority

Simple… by increasing your domain authority (Backlink profile), we can increase your websites ranking in SERPs.

All our SEO campaigns have this a priority, boosting credibility and trust for your business. Google, still to this day, holds authority and referring domains as one of its strongest signals in ranking a website.

User Experience

We always want to provide a great user experience for your users. What’s the point of ranking if those new website visitors arent converting to a new sale or lead… With our expert team specialising in SEO services and working alongside Cairns businesses, we seamlessly integrate these elements into your campaign for optimal results in search engine rankings and Google search results.

With a local SEO team working across your campaign, we will also help in providing additional insights into what your competitors SEO campaigns… This can often lead us to find “content gaps” where you competition may be promoting services or working towards keywords, that you may not be aware of!

We always want to be proactive in your SEO campaign, giving new insights and growth along the way!

Our SEO Process

SEO Audit & Scope Meeting

Every SEO campaign start with a scope meeting to better understand your business… the objectives you have and the goals you have for your SEO campaign.

This helps us align our SEO strategy to suit your business objectives and ultimately getting you the best result!

Post this first meeting/scope call, our team complete an SEO analysis of your website – from the existing on-page copy, through to your backlinks and technical SEO… this gives us insight into the corrective SEO work that be required straight away.

By our SEO team manually completing this audit prior to your business onboarding we can better scope the requirements of your campaign and giving you a better estimate of ROI and timeframe… we call this phase “creating a baseline”.

Advanced Keyword Planner & Competitive Analysis

With the “baseline” established the SEO audit documentation already completed, we can transition into the keyword research & planner.

This outlines the primary keywords to which your campaign will be targeting in Cairns…If these are local key terms they will often be geo-modified terms, Example: “[Services] in Cairns” or Cairns [Services].

All these approved keywords will be implement into our live keyword reporting tool (which you will have access to).

Along with keyword research, we always undergo a competitive analysis, ensuring we don’t miss opportunities that your “key” competitors may be capitalising on that you aren’t… We don’t want you to miss out!

SEO Campaign

We like to move fast… with your campaign implementation (on-page work) commencing within 1-2 weeks!

This is where our SEO team will now combine the findings from your baseline audit, corrective measures needing to be addressed and your keyword planner, to start implementing on-page work to improve your SEO rankings.

All this will be combined into a structured SEO roadmap for the campaign… the team will work on any “critical” tasks first, often causing dramatic effects on your rankings (which can result in some great “quick wins”).

Your Ongoing SEO Campaign

With corrective work out the way, and the quick wins grabbed, your SEO campaign will transition into a proactive campaign stage.

Continually working on strategic content for your website, writing “expert” level content to not just rank… but outrank your competitors.

What is SEO?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation, which is a marketing strategy that helps to increase the visibility of a website or web page in search engine results. It involves on-page SEO which includes optimising content, improving website structure and navigation, and creating backlinks to other websites. SEO also focuses on increasing the relevance of a website or web page for specific keywords, as well as ensuring that the content is updated regularly and provides value to users. By utilising SEO techniques, businesses can improve their overall rankings in search engine results.

How do search engines rank websites?

Search engines rank websites based on a variety of factors, including the quality of the content, the number and quality of backlinks, website structure and navigation, and user experience. Search engine algorithms also take into account the relevance of a website or web page for specific keywords. Additionally, search engines look at how often a website is updated with new content, as well as how quickly it loads. By utilising search engine optimisation techniques, businesses can improve their overall rankings in search engine results by optimising their content and website structure to make it more visible to search engines.

Is SEO a one-time effort?

SEO is an ongoing process that requires regular maintenance and updating. In order to keep up with the ever-changing algorithms of search engines, businesses must continually optimise their content and website structure. Additionally, new content should be added regularly in order to keep the website relevant and up-to-date. Furthermore, businesses should monitor their rankings in search engine results to ensure that they are staying ahead of the competition. SEO is a long-term strategy that requires dedication and continuous effort in order to be successful.

What is the difference between organic and paid search results?

Organic search results are those that appear naturally in the search engine results page (SERP) due to their relevance to the query. These results are based on the content, structure, and overall quality of a website. Organic search results are not paid for and rely on SEO techniques such as keyword research, content optimisation, and backlink building to increase visibility. On the other hand, paid search results are advertisements that appear in SERPs due to businesses paying search engines for placement. Paid search results appear at the top of SERPs and stand out from organic search results with labels such as “ad” or “sponsored”.

Why use SEO, why not Google Ads?

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is an effective way to increase the visibility of a website in organic search engine results, while Google Ads are a great tool for businesses to instantly boost their visibility on SERPs. SEO requires time and effort to be successful, as businesses need to continually optimise their content and website structure in order to keep up with search engine algorithms. SEO also relies on organic techniques such as keyword research and backlink building, which provide long-term results that can help a website maintain its ranking over time. On the other hand, Google Ads are a paid form of promotion that offer quick results but require ongoing investment in order to stay at the top of SERPs. Ultimately, businesses should consider both SEO and Google Ads depending on their budget and goals for search engine visibility.

Can you do SEO for E-commerce businesses?

Yes, e-commerce SEO can help businesses improve their visibility on SERPs. E-commerce businesses should focus on optimising their product pages to make them more appealing to search engine algorithms. This includes using relevant keywords, optimising page titles and meta descriptions, and ensuring that the product page is easy to navigate. Additionally, e-commerce businesses should focus on building backlinks from other websites to demonstrate the relevance of their products or services. Ultimately, with the right SEO techniques, e-commerce businesses can increase their visibility on SERPs and generate more leads or sales from organic search results.

What are the benefits of SEO?

The benefits of SEO are numerous and can help businesses increase their visibility on SERPs, generate more leads, and boost their overall ROI. SEO techniques such as content optimisation, keyword research, and backlink building can help businesses rank higher in organic search engine results. This increased visibility can lead to more website traffic, which in turn can result in a higher volume of leads or sales for the business. Additionally, SEO is a cost-effective digital marketing method as it does not require businesses to pay for placement on SERPs like they would with Google Ads. By investing in SEO over time, businesses can build long-term compounding success and enjoy the rewards of organic search engine visibility for years to come.

Why Should I Invest In SEO Services?

So, Why SEO?

Because it delivers long-term growth that ads and paid media strategies can’t match. SEO is compounding and while its investment upfront doesn’t necessarily generate an instant return, the long-term growth and ROI can be outstanding.
